Which iMac? How are you booting it?
If you already have an older version of Mac OS X on the drive, boot up to it and try to run the installer ... it will usually complain if it's not compatible.
If it doesn't have a FireWire port (which is usually the quickest way to determine it), you can't run it "natively." But you can "force" the install with a little help from OWC's XPostFacto.

You may need to check your firmware, my daughter has an Bondi Blue and we had to increase the ram and update the firmware. Check these guys and gals out http://lowendmac.com/mail/07/0529.html.

Hope any of this helps.
